80 bwHPC-S5 Baden-Württemberg High Performance Computing Scientific Simulation and Storage Support Services bwHPC-S5 (and between 2013 until 2018 the predecessor bwHPC-C5) acts as an "interface" between scientists and Baden-Württemberg's HPC systems. An unified statewide user support is coordinated federatively. The establishment of HPC competence centers unites technical experts and field specialists. In this way, scientific communities are bound closer to Baden-Württemberg's HPC systems which become increasingly visible. In regard to technical implementation,bwHPC-S5 raises the federated service management to another level: federated services of other Baden-Württemberg initiatives (such as bwIDM and bwLSDF) will be embedded and completed by new developments of administration tools and the standardization of cluster operations at the different locations. Innovative HPC technologies as HPC virtualization, accelerator systems and energy efficient computing will be tested and evaluated in collaboration with HPC users to coordinate migration strategies. To address a wide range of users, particular attention is paid to the dissemination of project activities.

EDEL Development of a decentralized electronic laboratory notebook In most laboratories, information such as measurement results, experiment configurations, special features and remarks on scientific investigations are often recorded in handwritten form - with all the associated disadvantages: Poor searchability, hybrid data storage and resulting data loss. The aim of the project Development of a decentralized electronic laboratory notebook, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), is to provide researchers with an open source laboratory notebook that is optimally tailored to their needs. This Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) will initially be designed to meet the requirements of chemists. In further steps, modules for use in biology will also be integrated. The ELN will be complemented by a repository that will enable the storage and publication of chemical information. The novel laboratory book is intended to remedy previous shortcomings in data collection and in the safeguarding of analytical and synthetic data in academic laboratories. In addition, novel methods for the provision of information will be established alongside the traditional form of publication. The focus is on the availability of data for all researchers, but also on the functionality of suitable long-term storage. The project is being carried out jointly by the Institute of Organic Chemistry (IOC), the KIT library and the Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC).
